This show and the team members are close to my heart. They brought us viewers into their world in a very intimate way. I consider this a public service and a gift to people around the world.

It is lovely seeing everyone so young, like Matt with his long hair but I think my favourite in EP.2 was the artist I forgot how much life he added to everything. But then seeing Mick and his sweaters reminded me of sitting round the TV as a kid watching with my nana. It is surprising how much I learnt from this show that I now yell out when watching "The Chase" decades later

I agree. The artistic renditions were always so lovely. The modern episodes with their computer renderings are a bit of a yawn compared to these hand drawn masterpieces.

Yh Victor(RIP) was a WONDERFUL artist!!that man could just draw anything and u really gotta good look and feel of what it looked like,(the area)the people,just all of it..and it's fascinating when u see the drawings of bone pits/yards,ppl chopping loved ones up,just to fit em in their grave,or just an invasion..I don't mind that,it's quite interesting, also cause I grew up around funeral homes,mortuary stuff,medical examiners lol..seeing how even death rituals/burials have changed and improved over a few millennium is cool lol.. when u see how it was back then,u really think that either urself or anyone from this 'modern era' wouldn't be able to make it,get thru,and actually SURVIVE the 40-50yrs u might get!!😁🤣✌️🍻🤟

They pick up a scrap of pottery the size of a match box and can tell you the location it was made, how it got to where it it, the year, the shape of the vessel it was and what it was used for. I just picked up a piece of plastic which broke off my freezer. Just now, i shut the door and i heard it snap off and hit the floor. I can’t tell you what it is or where it came from. And i looked! I’m obviously not an archaeologist 😂

Do Utilities in the UK not provide locating services to excavation operators in urban areas? In the States, this crew would call 811 and the relevant authorities would send out a tech who would locate all the service lines on the property, so that our our archeology team did not cut a gas, electrical or water line. The guy running the digger should have mentioned this.

It doesn't work when you've got services dating back 200 years unfortunately. They're just not mapped anywhere. New ones have that location mapped out.

@@andrewcharlton4053 I'm an excavator. We were digging up an older town here in Ontario and we came across an old log buried down maybe 10-12 ft. Didn't look right. Then we saw a fitting and some copper. We called the gas company and they came out and took a section and sent it to their school. It was an old [200 year old] gas line. They only had pictures in their school. Now they had an example. It was really cool.

What was controversial about any of these? I thought it might be that one where the Time Team was tricked into investigating a faked site, with artifacts from other places buried around the place.

Archeology was a different beast during the Victorian era. Shards were considered waste. Only "treasures" were kept and noted. That leaves a good deal of finds (although missing complete context) for contemporary researchers.

Why did the Romans bury everything?

@SandraNelson063 6 ай бұрын

They didn't. When the collapse of the empire happened , Rome called the legions home. So all that wonderful stuff was left, without anyone to look after it. After a while, the British folks started taking the cut stones to build new buildings, and they didn't have the engineering know how to look after the roads and plumbing. The legions took care of everything. Everything fell apart. People just started building and plowing over the Roman sites. It didn't matter any more, there were no legions to protest. Without the legions, people had to try and figure things out. There were schools teaching Latin, philosophy, Roman literature. Oh, it's heart breaking. I could fall hard for Guy. I love the way he teaches.

I am a bit disappointed with these clip shows. Surly with all the footage and little incidents which were edited out from the original shows, they could have spiced up these clip shows to make them more interesting. I love the originals, but don't see the need to simply offer up a combo show with the three shortened versions of the original.

The earliest use if concrete is in Syria and Jordan, 6500BC I think. But Roman concrete was certainly good quality.

@SandraNelson063 6 ай бұрын

Roman engineers came up with concrete that could hold things together UNDERWATER! They could really enhance natural harbors into large, important trade sites. And their way of using concrete has made a lot of their architecture last. Roman engineers were GODS.
